Kaelen Culpepper

The 23-year-old shortstop enters 2026 off a strong 2025 campaign that earned him Post-Season All-Star honors with Texas, indicating he's a prospect ready for a potential MLB opportunity. Culpepper projects as a source of runs and stolen bases if he secures regular at-bats at the big-league level, though his path to consistent playing time remains uncertain given the depth at the shortstop position across MLB. His power numbers will be worth monitoring as he develops, with home runs and RBI potential improving as he matures at the plate. The main risk is whether he'll receive the volume needed to impact fantasy rosters, making him a speculative add for deeper leagues rather than a core contributor in 2026.
